Not only four astronauts, but more than 5.6 million people are also going to the moon in the US space agency NASA's 'Artemis-2' mission. NASA had given people from all over the world the opportunity to participate in the lunar journey by launching the 'Send Your Name to Space' campaign. In that, 5.647 million people from all over the world, including Nepal, registered their names and got boarding passes.
All those names have been stored on a digital SD card. The SD card is currently inside the Orion spacecraft, which is carrying four astronauts. The spacecraft, which has already crossed the Earth's gravitational field and covered about half the distance to the moon, will now return to Earth after orbiting the moon in a week.
To make this mission common and inclusive for everyone, NASA has taken people's names into space together. NASA believes that this will especially attract the new generation of students to science and technology. Thus, Artemis-2 has set off on a journey of space exploration, carrying the names and dreams of millions of people. NASA has announced that as of Saturday evening, the names of astronauts and more than 5.6 million people have reached more than 160,000 miles from Earth. The mission includes Commander Reed Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen.
They will not land on the lunar surface. However, they will reach the south pole or far side of the moon and make a landing. This is the first time in 53 years that a human team has come this close to the moon. This mission will lay a solid foundation for landing humans on the moon in the future.
